One just won the César for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "I Will Always See Your Faces", the other, better known as a model in the United States, has only a brief acting career. Nevertheless, both will star in a Netflix production directed by Lena Dunham ("Girls", "Tiny Furniture").

After Girls, the successful series broadcast on HBO from 2012 to 2017, we learn from Variety that showrunner Lena Dunham has assembled an exceptional international cast for her new Netflix production, Too Much.

Negotiations are still ongoing, but everything seems to indicate that she will be part of the cast. To complete the cast, Megan Stalter, recently seen in the poignant La Vie rêvée de Miss Fran, and Will Sharpe, known for his role in the second season of The White Lotus.
